When I thought you were supposed to make one up, I roughed out this sketch:

For years you have been seeking your Holy Grail of Exotica ~ 1957s "The Lost Continent" Original Soundtrack directed by none other that Francesco Lavagnino.

You've set auto alerts on eBay, scoured flea markets, swap meets, and thrift stores to no avail. You know they have sold for as much as $500 so you have liquidated assets so that you are ready to strike when the iron is hot. Then you find it! $5 on Craigslist, free shipping. "Slightly warped but otherwise good condition" but it has no picture. The idiots obviously don't know what they have. So you quickly fire off a check and wait...

Someone has made it into a candy dish!

I don't thinks anyone said it had to be inspired by the album cover, how about inspired by the LP? I like to make a couple of "throw-away" pieces to help get the creative juices frowing.

MadDogdMike not only were you inspired so am I. I'm going to use your album cover to make a mug of the girl and skull etc. Thank you for he help. Your record bowl is going to be super cool, Wendy

Damned young whippersnapper! In 1967 I was practically old enough to DRIVE to the store. (Yes, I was only 9 but we started driving early on the farm )
